I've been using Hammer since the Worldcraft 3 days, it took less than an hour
of using TrenchBroom to know I'll never go back to Hammer or JACK.
It just works. The overall modelling workflow is much more efficient, it's well
designed, linked groups is a killer feature, it doesn't crash for no reason and
when it does crash you can submit an issue and get it fixed in a day (or fix it
yourself, it's FOSS), CSG (e.g. the carve tool) produces sane geometry in a few
milliseconds instead of crashing after a 20s freeze.
It also runs smooth and fast whereas hammer stutters all the time and feels
like it renders its viewports and UI at 20 fps.
The apparent simplicity is a feature in itself, not a lack of functionality.
I use it to type in Danish and Italian, as it happens (plus Swedish and French every now and then).
Æ, Ø, Å aren't dead keys, they're available via AltGr + Z, L, and W respectively. However, Italian and French accented letters (as well as Swedish/German Ä/Ö) are available via either AltGr or dead keys - and I find myself almost always using dead keys, perhaps because they are more "logical" so I learned them faster.
And of course, typing any kind of quote is a dead key in every language (quote followed by spacebar).
By now, after so many years, dead keys are well in muscle memory so they feel barely any slower to type than regular two-key combos (like uppercase letters).
0.48 is not even released yet (still a RC) you'll have to wait a bit more for 0.49.
There's nothing preventing you from building it yourself though, the master branch is stable and you can complete the game without a single crash or game-breaking bug.

I can guarantee you the opposite. You'll have a site-wide abusable
Scunthorpe-incompatible report-based automated moderation with no proper appeal
mechanism in place because half a dozen underpaid interns/offshored employees
will be responsible for taking over the work of hundreds of moderators.
It's already happening in some cases. There's ways to make reports go directly
to the so-called Anti-Evil Operations team who will irrevocably override any
moderation decision and enforce abusive reports.
It's easy to get people banned, post some hateful content, wait for reports,
and then report the reports for report abuse.
> But I can't think of any other social site that has such a bad rep for moderation.
There are some legitimate cases of poorly moderated subreddits and mod abuse
(and the whole powermod issue), but beware, most of the time people complaining
about power-tripping mods and "not being able to say anything anymore" have
been banned for very good reasons (those reasons being straight-up hate speech
most of the time).
Yes, but we even give murderers due process. You don't have any civil liberties with reddit, but if the punishment doesn't fit the crime or you know they just used the rules as a pretext to squash dissent, it's going to leave a bad taste.
They can do whatever they want with their platform, but I can also not like mods who make decisions I don't agree with.
I also don't think mods should be allowed to ban people just for being subscribed to other subs or having posted there. The whole idea that I co-sign everything the sub stands for just because I read it tells you all you need to know: they expect and often demand that you do in fact co-sign everything the sub stands for.
And that's the fundamental problem with reddit, really. It's not just the keyword squatting mods: it's that it's a giant social experiment that distills the worst of mob behavior and anonymity.
Fixing reddit requires some kind of check on the mods and the elimination or complete overhaul of the karma system.
We caught "community builders" making disingenuous posts trying to pass reposted/translated content as OC to generate engagement. After getting caught doing so with their admin accounts they tried again using normal users.
They also had the bright idea to spam users via DM using a poorly templated message (verbatim "insert u/USERNAME") to promote localized copies of low-quality subs (the kind of trash you see on r/all).
This is how Reddit started. In the very beginning of the site the founders had a couple of accounts they would use to put content on the site. It's in Reddit's DNA so to speak.
> I'd be curious to know what's good or bad about it compared to GCP and AWS.
Documentation lies, support lies, metrics lie, bugs everywhere, and when something breaks the status page is always all green and support tries to convince you it's your fault anyway. They're only here to prevent you from enforcing the SLA. The distrust is pervasive.
I stopped suspecting my code, if something breaks outside of a planned maintenance it is _always_ Azure.
My latest support ticket: Azure App Service internal DNS server broke and there is no way to bypass it short of hardcoding IPs in /etc/hosts. Support told me that if I wanted App Service to work reliably I had to implement their DNS server myself.
To rephrase, my PaaS provider told me to spend time and money to implement the very platform I was paying them for, and it just so happened to be absolutely impossible because of an unannounced BC break a few months prior (which is another lengthy and frustrating story).
This morning I had a VM cut out of the network and 10% of my App Service traffic just disappeared. No explanation, no incident report, nothing.
These days I'm working with AWS, and it just works. If something isn't working you know it's your fault and that the answer is in the documentation. I'm not spending days on workarounds, I'm actually implementing as planned. I have no words to describe the relief I'm feeling.
You need a compositor. picom works.
